enphily Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Another round cuz no one reading previous pages Quote
jvmacross Posted September 17, 2021 Author Posted September 17, 2021 So...."CVS101" markings means possible DYRL GBP version? If so, I hope it is another combo with a movie correct VF-1J... I now have higher hopes that Bandai will go with the combo pack for a TV Super VF-1S Hikaru-Type.....or at least they should definitely do the combo pack for the Max and Millia Super VF-1J's... Looking forward to the next PO announcement! Quote
close313 Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) HOT DAMN the box itself is a super nice display case. And i love the fact that it is in battroid. so we dont have to transform it to get the armor parts on quickly Edited September 17, 2021 by close313 Quote
MKT Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 4 hours ago, enphily said: First review Really, really amazing!! 1. The tampoes make the armor look much more detailed than any previous Armored implementations. 2. The missile exhaust vents, a topic that was brought up recently, has some sort of grille surfacing details. 3. The sculpt looks perfect. The base valk has the line art accuracy, yet with the armor it morphs into & captures the exaggerated anime proportions well. The oversized hands are hilarious yet look so right with the armor. I'm comparing with Arcadia's VF-0. The 1/60 VF-0 and Bandai's 1/48 VF-1 are about the same size, both base valks look really great, yet the Armored results between both are so different. Bandai's really captured the anime feel, whilst Arcadia's has some strange proportions that doesn't endear so well. 4. The VF-1 thigh side-joints really find purchase here in getting around the traditional leg articulation limitation of Armored valks; we finally get to have the Armored in stances that we couldn't have done before.

Shawn Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 that box is gigantic, wow. I just can't believe how large and bad-ass this thing looks on the stand Quote
Shawn Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 And for the Trivia nerds-that Takani GBP art piece that went up for sale 10 years ago-that is owned by Tenjin now. He has mentioned before it is the spark that made him what he is today. I'm calling this the Takani edition for those large hands LOL Quote
sh9000 Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 And that is one pose that I'm definitely looking forward to recreating. Quote
vladykins Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 I found who I ordered from and it is from @LUNA PARK as well, so with those starting to ship I'm getting excited. Quote
Shawn Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 And Tenjin is doing the upcoming Hasegawa GBP release box art-can't wait to see what he comes up with next! Quote
seti88 Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 I can feel the chunkiness already from the video. Ooof this is going to be one center piece display. Bandai is the tampo king. 1 minute ago, Shawn said: And Tenjin is doing the upcoming Hasegawa GBP release box art-can't wait to see what he comes up with next! Oh! Man this is GBP season..now I feel like doing prints of the takani pose and tenjin’s, framing em and displaying em next to the DX bad boy.. Quote
MKT Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Even though the Armored is one-mode only, we still need multiples. One to outwardly pose display, another to display from within its cool box windows, and a 3rd for just-in-case. Quote

Paco Grande Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 I was originally not planning to order this one because I'm not a huge fan of the chunky armor, but I ended up pre-ordering the set and I'm not regretting that decision! I do not own a DX VF-1J yet so this is a double new release for me. That box is very nice as well and I did not expect that. The only store available to me at the time was NY so I'm a little nervous but I have received everything I ordered from NY so far and they seem to be improving lately so I still have hope this will come through.

derex3592 Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Alright, I'll say it, looks like Bandai NAILED the color on this release at least for me! Not dark blue, a lot more grey in there! I can't wait to get mine! Quote
Shawn Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 can we just take a moment and THANK the technology gods who invented closed captioning AND auto-translation on the videos what a crazy awesome helpful tool. I can 'gist' things much better now. Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 So the front leg armor part is one piece. I was hoping that the knee portion can be removed so I can do Armored Gerwalk. Quote
tjdetweiler Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 oh man! that looks really niceeeee! I can't wait! Quote
Angesdad Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 C'mon Nin-Nin, ship mine already haha! Anyone heard from Nin-Nin yet. It is my first order with them and I'm hopeful everything goes smoothly. Quote
mantisfists Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Nevermind. I posted before I watched it. Was a preview and I saw review. Oops Edited September 17, 2021 by mantisfists I'm an idiot Quote
Mecachrome Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Man ohh man.... wasnt on planning on getting one but damn, its a must now. Imagine this thing cel shaded and weathered!!! Quote
borgified Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 I think that Lek will do a cell shaded version when he gets his hands on this combo set. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Well, that convinced me to get the pack on Amazon Japan... The box looks damn nice with the windows and fold-open! Quote

As far as I can tell it's not Amazon/DHL. I have one coming from Luna Park (in theory) but I want a second. I'm not sure when to pull the trigger. I was hoping something would come up on AmazonJP with Priority shipping on or before release day. Edited September 17, 2021 by sqidd Quote
jenius Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Luna Park hasn't shipped mine yet... I keeping tapping my fingers on my desk but that doesn't seem to be hurrying things along. Quote

Slave IV Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 The figure looks gorgeous! It's interesting that the missile caps on the arm don't seem to come off when they do in the hips. Also, I wonder if any of the missiles are removeable but I guess not since it hasn't been mentioned. Oddly, the most impressive thing to me is the wings actually lined up well on the copy used for that review. Quote
